Reza Putra _2504 — Potok navigates the tension between culture and faith within the individual so well.

Jerome Fon _erone_on_etter — The bizarre, non sequitur title was inspired from a shared joke between Kerouac and Burroughs about a circus fire that they overheard on the radio after a Nazi bombing campaign in Great Britain...and it couldn't be more appropriate. The naivete of these characters is what truly drew me in. Their reactions to death and war are illogically flippant...an attestation towards their mindsets at the time. Yet these events must have had great impact upon them as their writing careers flourished, representing an island of harsh mortality in a sea of bohemian self-indulgence. And with the knowledge of their later works, it gives the book a little more weight. This is by no means a great magnum opus of either author; you must remember that a decade passed before either became well-known novelists ("On the Road" 1957, and "Naked Lunch" 1959) But what it lacks for in beauty of prose and cerebral conclusions, it more than makes up for its unflinching insight int the beat lifestyle of the East Village during World War II; the type of writing that borders on Gonzo journalism. I recommend it to anyone interested beat history. And I also suggest you read the editors incorrectly labeled "Afterword" first. It gives some framework to read the book in a more objective light.

Zoe Piper kennedysham — Sci-Fi is a difficult genre to describe and recommend. Given its lattitudes for fantastical and somewhat magical storylines, it turns many people off. 2001 would have to be the exception for two reasons. First, it is science-fiction with a heavy emphasis on empiricism, which is why it is no wonder that Arthur C. Clarke's imaginative creations have in fact become real and/or the basis for aero-space design. A visionary, way ahead of the technological curve, Clarke created a story fifty years ago that is realistic and futuristic today. Second, 2001 is considered THE standard for the sci-fi genre. If you read one sci-fir book in your life, if you want to engage in conversatrions concerning the potential effect of technology on society, this should be the one sci-fi book you should read.

Andressa Nizer andressanizer — The beginning of this book was really good. I went from truly enjoying it to wondering if it would ever end.... I don't really recommend this one.
